Djokovic has still to win a title in 2024.
World number one Novak Djokovic recovered from a slow start to see off lucky loser Corentin Moutet and move into the third round of the Italian Open in Rome.
The Serbian, though, fought back with two breaks of his own before serving out the opening set in 45 minutes.There was a light-hearted moment at the start of the second set when the alarm on Moutet’s phone in his bag went off, with the Frenchman making a quick dash to his chair to hit the stop button.
After such a promising start, Moutet was beginning to lose his cool – and was warned by the umpire after kicking the net in frustration after sliding in for a forehand. Fifth seed Casper Ruud, though, suffered a shock defeat as Miomir Kecmanovic came from behind to win 0-6 6-4 6-4 – the Serbian having recovered after leaving the court for a medical time-out late on in the first set.
